    Original Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) - in form of a superplasticized cement mixture with silica fume, steel fibers and ground fine quartz (150-400 mm) - was studied in comparison with a modified RPC where a graded natural aggregate (max size 8 mm) was used to replace the fine sand and/or part of the cementitious binder. Original and modified RPC were manufactured at a plastic-fluid consistency, cast by vibration and cured at three different conditions: a) room temperature; b) steam-curing at 90°C; c) high pressure steam-curing at 160°C. The addition of the graded aggregate does not reduce the compressive strength provided that the quality of the cement matrix, in terms of its water-cement ratio, is not changed. This result is in contrast with the model proposed to relate the high compressive strength level of RPC (200 MPa) to the absence of coarse aggregate. Both the original and modified RPC (with the coarse aggregate addition) perform better - in terms of higher strength and lower driying shrinkage or creep strain - when they are steam cured rather than cured at room temperature. This improvement was related to a more dense microstructure of the cement matrix, particularly in the RPC specimens steam cured at 160°C.

    INTRODUCTION
    RPC was first developed by P. Richard and
    M. Cheyrezy.
    RPC was first produced in the early 1990s
    by researchers at Bouygues laboratory in
    France and the worlds first RPC structure,
    the Sherbrooke Bridge in Canada was
    constructed in July 1997.

    What is reactive powder


    concrete (RPC)
    RPC is an ultra high strength and high
    ductility cementitious composite with
    advanced
    mechanical
    and
    chemical
    properties.
    There are concretes that leads the way to
    the achievement of the maximum
    compressive strength of the order 120150 Mpa.

    continue

    In order to increase the compressive strength of


    concrete even further, the only way is to remove
    the coarse aggregate.
    This philosophy has been employed in what is
    today known as Reactive Powder Concrete.
    RPC is not just a simple mixture of cement,
    water and aggregates.
    Quite often, it contains mineral components and
    chemical admixtures having very specific
    characteristics, which impart specific properties
    to the concrete.

    Objectives of developing
    RPC

    Elimination
    of
    coarse
    aggregate
    for
    enhancement of homogeneity .
    Utilization of pozzolanic properties of silica
    fume.
    Optimal usage of super plasticizer to reduce
    W/C and at the same time improves
    compaction .
    Post- set heat treatment for enhancement
    of the microstructure.
    Addition of small sized steel fibers to
    improve ductility.

    PROPERTIES

    OF

    RPC

    COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
    -Higher compressive strength than
    normal Concrete.
    -It is a factor linked with durability of
    material.
    -Maximum compressive strength of RPC is
    approximately 200MPa.

    continue

    FLEXURAL

    STRENGTH

    -Plane RPC possess high flexural


    strength than
    regular concrete.
    -By introducing steel fibers, RPC can
    achieve high
    strength. The length and diameter of
    the fibres
    have a considerable impact on the

    WATER ABSORPTION

    RESISTANCE TO CHLORIDE ION


    PENETRATION

    Increases when heat curing is done in


    concrete.

    Heat cured RPC show higher value than


    normal cured RPC.

    HOMOGENITY
    Improved by eliminating all coarse
    aggregates.
    Dry components for use in RPC is less
    than 600 micro meter .

    WATER PERMEABILITY

    7. COMPACTNESS:
    Application of pressure before and during
    concrete setting period.
    8. MICROSTRUCTURE:
    Microstructure of the cement hydrate
    can be changed by applying heat
    treatment during curing.
    9. MATERIAL DUCTILITY:
    Material ductility can be improved
    through the addition of short steel fibres.

    conclusion
    The reactive powder concrete produced by
    routine concrete manufacture techniques has
    compressive strength above 160 MPa,
    bending strength above 20 MPa, fine frost
    resistance, and impermeability of chloride .
    The sidewalk flat system produced by the
    reactive powder concrete has light
    deadweight, low cost, and the littler
    workload, which makes it suitable for bridge
    and its subsidiary facilities on the QinghaiTibet plateau.
